Get Reading 9 : Created with Student Help

I have been working on the pieces and parts of this video for a month. In the meantime, my school desktop and laptop were converted to Windows 7. I had not used the new Movie Maker, and I was not sure if PhotoStory would work on 7. The learning curve was small and except for the time that it took to download the programs onto my computer I got this put together this afternoon in about 45 minutes. Thank goodness because I have a litany of other computer issues that I won't dwell on now. In this episode there are two recommended books: The Dark Days of Hamburger Halpin by Josh Berk and Blood Wounds by Susan Beth Pfeffer. The president of Bookmarked, the high school book group, gives her take on the Pfeffer book.
